Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Probably checking with the Saints to see how Williams ran the ‘bounty’ program. “So...how did your organization’s ‘bounty’ program work? If we send some people to an accuser’s home, we pay those people to ‘rough up’ the alleged victim?” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His bread too buttered. Wasn’t equating the situations, just pointing out that it’s a pattern with this team to be caught up in scandals due to their association with religious outfits.

Agreed. When something goes well, be in front of the cameras sharing credit for the event (deserved or not). When something goes wrong, send out a lackey to face the media. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsfaninSB Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Pure BS the Saints are not cooperating in an horrible issue like this. Clearly they are hiding something. Off topic but just let priests marry. This would go a long way minimizing this crap in the future. And there is nothing in religious doctrines requiring no marriage. It’s just some dumb policy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jauronimo Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 This is going to get way bigger in the coming days. I hear the emails are just the tip of the iceberg and the Saints are involved in way more than just covering up a local arch diocese. When the news breaks remember you heard it here first: Sean Payton murdered Epstein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently he was Episcopalian and became catholic. And they let him become a priest. I don’t know the whole story because i just joined this parish within the last year. Just found it surprising.

They are child abusers, pedophiles, rapists, criminals. Those who help cover it up are complicit in the crime. That is all. If you look at every profession treating the elderly, children, disabled, th percentage of priests as pedophiles is accurate to every other group. I am not in anyway giving a pass to these monsters, but the real crime is the church not either 1, sending him to prison for the person’s acts, or at the very least sending to a monastery somewhere like Portugal to have to pray 16 hours a day for life, and if he does not comply they out him. Being a devout Catholic, it makes me sick the church continued to hide these bastadges, and not punish them for life as well as the payouts. I went to Catholic School my entire young life, and never once did I ever feel a priest wanted anything but to help me. I understand the vitriol as it is horrible what these individuals did, but the church hiding it embarrasses me as a devout catholic. I can only add if anyone, including a priest hurt one of my three children in this manner, God help them, as I will show no mercy. I’m not one to talk tough, but this behavior is repulsive. My prayers goes out to those poor families. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, religion should be a private matter. Be proud of what you are but it should be an inward thing. Plus the most religious people I know are the biggest hypocrites on the planet. A theist us atheists can get behind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is directed towards the Bishops and Cardinals who felt it was more important to protect the Church than it was to protect the children. Many professions (Dr, Teacher, Nurse, Social Work) are required to report suspected abuse. SUSPECTED. That there are people who claim to be men of god living to a lesser standard is abhorrent to me. Hiding the abuse and looking to avoid negative perception... I do not hate the Catholic Church. Just that small percentage within the Church who seek to keep abuse in the dark.

To me (a non-Catholic) it just seems like it would make more sense to distance yourself from abusers and cut them off. What do they have to gain by standing by and covering up abusive priests? Just strip them of their priesthood, excommunicate them, make a statement that the church will never stand by corrupt, child abusing priests, and place another priest in his place. None of the blame should fall with the church as a whole UNLESS they are supporting their abusive priests and covering up their actions, which they stupidly have done in the past and apparently continue to do. 1 minute ago, Joe in Winslow said: What's wrong with not wanting to see babies murdered?

Utah John Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I am having trouble imagining what help a football team could possibly be, in dealing with these crimes. Football teams are businesses which are really good at public relations, but not when it comes to covering up crimes. If a priest or someone else in the Church committed a sexual offense, that's a crime, not a public relations challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
